Traveling between Montenegro’s popular coastlines and Croatia’s Dubrovnik Airport can be a logistical puzzle—unless you pre-book this private transfer service. This option, offered by Transfers-Montenegro.me, provides a smooth, hassle-free way to end your stay in Budva or Becici. With prices at about $286.60 for up to four people, this service offers a private, air-conditioned vehicle, flexible pickup times, and a scenic two-hour drive through stunning coastline scenery. It’s a highly rated experience, with a perfect 5.0 rating from 7 reviews, which speaks volumes about the reliability and quality of service.
Two aspects stand out for me in this experience. First, the professionalism of the drivers, who speak excellent English and always seem eager to assist—whether with luggage or answering questions. Second, the scenic drive, which offers glimpses of both Montenegro’s rugged coastlines and Croatia’s famed Dubrovnik views. It’s especially helpful that the driver handles the ferry crossing and logistics, removing any stress or uncertainty.
One thing to consider: while the service is highly praised, the journey, at around two hours depending on traffic, can be tight if you’re rushing for a flight. Planning to schedule your pickup well in advance can help ensure you arrive on time and relaxed. Also, keep in mind that during peak travel seasons, Dubrovnik Airport experiences long queues, so pre-booking this transfer saves you from last-minute stress.
Key Points
- Comfort and professionalism: You’re transported in a high-class, air-conditioned vehicle driven by experienced, friendly drivers who speak English fluently.
- Flexibility: The pickup location can be any hotel, resort, or address in Budva or Becici, with the exact time of pickup tailored to your flight schedule.
- Scenic experience: The drive provides window views of Montenegro and Croatia, adding a touch of scenic delight to what might otherwise feel like just a transfer.
- Convenience: Includes the ferry crossing, so you don’t need to worry about booking separate tickets or navigating border crossings yourself.
- Cost and value: For around $287, your group benefits from private, door-to-door service—something that can often be more economical and less stressful than taxis or shared shuttles.
- Reviews speak to reliability: The standout feedback mentions how the estimated timing was “spot on,” and the service was “highly recommend[ed].”
A Deep Dive into the Experience
Arranging your transfer in advance means you can kick back as the driver arrives at your hotel or resort—be it a boutique hotel or a beachside apartment—at a time that suits your schedule. The service is private, so only your group will be in the vehicle, making the entire process intimate and tailored. You won’t have to worry about sharing a shuttle with strangers or waiting around for pickups.
The drive itself, taking roughly two hours, is far from dull. You’ll cross from Montenegro into Croatia via a ferry crossing—a detail that adds a bit of adventure to the journey and eliminates border delays. The driver handles this ferry, so you just sit back, enjoy the views, and perhaps snap a few photos of the coastline and islands along the way.
Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the professionalism and helpfulness of their drivers. One reviewer even highlighted that the timing was precisely on point, which is crucial when you’re catching a flight. Knowing your ride is scheduled to arrive and leave promptly allows you to plan your day accordingly without the anxiety of running late.
From the vantage point of the driver, you’ll likely hear helpful tips and local insights—especially valuable if you’re unfamiliar with the area. The vehicles—either luxury sedans or minivans—are comfortable and equipped for your luggage, which is important for travelers with multiple bags or larger suitcases.

Who is this transfer best suited for?
If you’re traveling in a small group—up to four people—the price per person is quite reasonable considering the comfort and convenience provided. It’s an excellent option for families, couples, or small groups with lots of luggage. On top of that, if you’re arriving into Dubrovnik Airport after a day of exploring Montenegro’s coast, this transfer can be your ideal last leg, helping you avoid the unpredictability of taxis or public transportation.
Potential drawbacks
While the service is highly praised, it’s important to remember that the journey duration depends on traffic conditions. On busy summer days, the drive might take slightly longer, so making your reservation with plenty of lead time is wise. Also, if your flight schedule is tight, this service is ideal, but double-check the timing—especially during peak tourist season when delays at the airport or border crossings are common.
Practical Tips for Travelers

- Book your transfer at least 16 days in advance, as most travelers seem to do, ensuring availability during busy seasons.
- Choose your pickup time based on your flight schedule—leaving early can help you avoid last-minute stress.
- Confirm your pickup address clearly with the service to avoid misunderstandings on the day of travel.
- Take advantage of the scenic drive; ask your driver about local sights or hidden gems along the route.
- Remember, the journey includes a ferry crossing, so prepare for that if you’re particular about travel timings.
- Keep a few snacks or drinks handy—you’ll have a comfortable ride, but a little extra in your bag can make the journey even better.
